Description of problem: Notifification pop-up is displayed incorrectly (mostly off-screen) on my dual-head system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Notification Area 2.16.1 How reproducible: Always - just have to right-click the updates icon and select "refresh" Steps to Reproduce: 1. Dual-head system with the non-equal monitor sizes & xinerama enabled 2. A gnome panel on the bottom of the smaller screen 3. The notification area installed in the gnome panel 4. Start up system with one or more updates available Actual results: If the larger screen is somewhat larger than the smaller screen - mine is 1600x1200 vs. 1400x1050, the "updates are available" pop-up is displayed *below* the notification panel, and you can see only the top edge of it. My guess is that the pop-up is being positioned relative to a bounding box that encompassases both screens, but doesn't take into account the fact that there is non-displayed area within that bounding box. Because the screens are top-edge-aligned, and the main screen is smaller, then the dead area is below the main screen. Presumably, if the main screen was even smaller (say, 1280x1024) the pop-up might even be completely offscreen? Expected results: The pop-up should always display visibly. One simple solution might be to aim the pop-up towards the center? This would work for most dissimilar screen setups, and would only be confused if you placed a gnome panel along the boundary edge between two xinerama screens (which is not really a normal config), and even then would fail more softly, by sometimes aiming towards the wrong screen, but still visible. Obviously the better solution is to be xinerama-compatible, and to position the bubble relative to the physical screen on which the pop-up is appearing, not to the master bounding box. Additional info: I wasn't sure if notification-daemon was the correct component, and pls. feel free to reassign if it's not.

I'm sorry, I'm no longer using Fedora (my new employer is a Ubuntu shop) so I won't be able to contribute to this one.
Thanks for your update. David-should we keep open or close?
